alexandria. many people in this room are asking what will it do to our traffic? >> that is a huge, huge problem. because there is really no easy way to get in there. >> reporter: tonight's public hearing held by congressman gen moran allowed people to ask questions. >> have those who participated in passing it been removed from this project? by now the building is one year away from completion. >> i see some folks over here with save the preserve, and i would just like to. [ cheers and applause ]. >> reporter: most notably the botanical preserve that would be ruined by a proposed ramp. >> right now they're saying it's off the table. and that's good to hear that. >> reporter: so why then are people still so upset? >> because they don't believe that the transportation alternatives will really address

the congestion. i think that there has been a kind of a history of wondering whether or not we can trust or believe what has been sort of promised. >> reporter: i'll tell you what is promised. they did say that they will reduce the number of parking spots at the defense building from 4,000 to 1,000. hopefully deterring people from taking their cars, taking public transportation and alleviating some of that traffic on 395. reporting live in alexandria, brittany morehouse, 9news now. we have got some severe thunderstorms on the way. chief meteorologist topper shutt is in the 9 forecast first weather center. top. >> you know, it's kind of a counterintuitive attempts have been posted for frederick county and maryland and in virginia. the panhandle of west virginia. in hagerstown, pretty good thunderstorm now. around 81 between hagerstown and williamsport. everything is pushing off now to the north and east headed

it's time for 9 sports with brett haber, the best sports in town. >> well, the measure of a great season for an nfl running back is 1,000 yards rushing. how nervous should the redskins be since the guy they're facing is a quarter of the way there. his name is arian foster. is he playing for the texans. he has only played in seven nfl games in his life but he sure didn't look like it last week against colts against whom he radeled off 231 yards and three touchdowns on 33 carries. how do the redskins plan to stop that? >> he doesn't play around.

he's a guy that sees that hole and he exploits it and he hits it. doesn't dance. hits it. a hard-nosed runner. >> he doesn't tackle. we're going to have to tackling the guy because he really runs hard. >> we gave him an opportunity last year and made plays. he's continued to do that. he's a great running back. runs hard. one cut and he's downhill. >> today was clinton portis's first chance to speak regarding foot in mouth regarding women reporters. you can see he kept his mouth taped shut. he held up a bunch of signs. one says no comment. one says god bless you. one says have a good day. you can see the skins and texans. preceded by the ravens and bengals who kick off at 1:00. although we are obliged to tell you that according to nfl rules, we cannot leave the ravens game until it is over. we could miss the start of the

redskins game. again, it's not our call and hopefully it won't happen at all. we're waiting to see the capitals back on the ice since their stunning first loss against the canadiens. they are ready to erase some bad memories. >> it still stinks. we try to use that as a motivating factor and come back to camp with a level of intensity. >> it was a long summer for us. little too long. and i know as far as myself and a lot of the other guys, we're ready to get going this year. >> good to have the capitals back. and with that we bring you the latest installment of the excellent and not so excellent in the world of sports. it is the good, the bad and the ugly for september 15th. we start with the good. best snag by a first baseman. look at the padres on adrian gonzalez here. he goes between the legs. >> whoa. >> now, i'm not sure why he

didn't back hand that ball. >> right. >> the regular way. >> show it off. >> it worked. >> it wouldn't make news if he did it the regular way. this spin. the penalty kick initially saved. look at the ball. it has some english on it. the goalie is not paying attention and it spins over the line. >> oh, look at that. >> look at the forward. he says that ought to count and he says you bet it does. that's a goal. best thief re. scott podsednik went down there. some fan switched caps with him. they're sneaky out in southern california. you have to watch them guys. let's go to the bad. the finish had given us a lot of good things in the goal celebrating department. this one is no good, though. it's a lady gaga routine. one buy puts up the blond wig. >> oh, no. >> not even close to as good as the flopping fish.

>> no. >> which was also from finland. try again. >> that was weak. >> worst touch around the green. charlie at the bmw. he wants to get out. he does. but not so much. i would say, topper, he did not materially improve his lies. >> he nailed it. >> wait a second. >> he flushed it. >> it's congressional. >> i know. he's a pro, though. here is the ugly. worst advertisement. the guys at polo ralph lauren who paid a lot of money until that guy tripped over that because he's not a polo man. finally worst experience sitting in the front row. this guy in toronto who wound up with the ball in his nose. >> oh. >> and he was on a date. and unfortunately it didn't end the way he hoped it would end. >> he's laughing. >> not when the date is laughing at you. >> ouch.
